Ingredients （材料）
  • 2½ cups (590 ml) pink champagne or sparkling wine
  • 1¼ cup (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) vegetable shortening (the shortening sold with baking supplies in Japanese supermarkets works fine.
  • 2 cups (256 g) powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pearl sugar, sprinkles, candy, etc. for decorating
Instructions（作り方）
  1. Pour pink champagne into a saucepan and boil over high heat until it reduces to about ¾ cup (175 ml). Transfer to a measuring cup and put in the fridge to chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together ½ cup sugar (64 g) and the vegetable shortening until smooth.
  5. Add ½ cup (120 ml) of the chilled champagne and stir to combine.
  6. Add flour mixture and stir until soft dough forms.
  7. Roll dough into 1 inch (2 cm) balls, roll in remaining sugar, and place on prepared baking sheet. Flatten with fingers.
  8. bake 12-15 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookies sheets for a couple of minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In the mean time, make the icing. Whisk together powdered sugar with the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) of chilled champagne and a pinch of salt. If the icing is too thin for your liking you can add more powdered sugar; if it's too thick add some additional champagne.
  10. When cookies are completely cool, dip in icing.
  11. Decorate to your liking and let the icing set.
